Hi there!
I need some advice. I have a red footed tortoise, Edna. She is around 3 years old. I've had he for about a year now and love her. There are so many sites out there with different advice so i'm looking for some input.
1) How often should I be feeding her now that she is about 3 years old?
2) When I got her her shell seemed as if there was evidence of pyramiding. Now that she's bigger it is still the same but I can't tell if it's getting worse or if it is because she is just growing. I feed her all the recommended food and supplements.
3) Are mercury vapour bulbs worth investing in?
4) She is very restless lately, she is trying to climb on everything in her enclosure (4x6) and is constantly flipping herself over. We are doing everything we can to prevent this but it keeps happening. Why is she doing this? I bring her out for exercise regularly.
5) Can she get eggbound if the eggs are never fertilized?
Please don't think you have to answer all of these questions, any will do!! Thanks!!!!
